Breaking Benjamin Overcomes Phobia with Jane's Diary
music by the band called breaking Benjamin has always been the pride of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. With the release of their latest album, Phobia, breaking Benjamin has definitely gained regard through the years.

The alternative metal band was formed in 1998, by Benjamin Burnley and Jeremy Hummel. Burnley and Hummel were the band's vocals and drummer respectively. The band's name was changed to Plan 9. But Plan 9 did not really suit the ban, so they reverted to the original name, breaking Benjamin. Since then, people have been storming the web for breaking benjamin tabs and Breaking Benjamin hoodies. These Breaking Benjamin hoodies cost around $20-$30.

After signing onto Hollywood Records, breaking Benjamin started releasing studio albums. The first of which was Saturate, released on August 27, 2002. The album did not do quite well, but it did build a strong locale fan stead for the band.

2004 marked the band's sophomore attempt We Are Not Alone. Firefly was used in the sci-fi television series created by Joss Whedon. In no time, a firefly by breaking benjamin music video was made. The firefly by breaking benjamin music video became one of the most-watched videos of the band.

Breaking benjamin acoustic tracks were also made off this album. One of these breaking benjamin acoustic versions is So Cold.

But trouble soon sprouted for breaking Benjamin. Apparently, the band's co-founder, Jeremy Hummel, was asked to leave the band. A year later, Hummel filed a case against breaking Benjamin, stating that he was not paid for songs he had written. It took roughly a year for the band to reach some sort of settlement. But all's well with the band now.

On August 2006, breaking Benjamin released their latest album Phobia. The album sold more than 130,000 copies in its first week alone, mostly in major retail shops. The album went as high as 2nd place on the US Billboard Top 200 chart. The Diary of Jane is the first single off the album.
